Dean Sucks Energy Out of Tropical Atlantic???

It is two weeks until GuidoPalooza and it appears that the Cat 5 Dean has sucked all energy out of the tropical Atlantic and doomed GP2K7 to flatness. Oh well, it looked like this last year with 14 days to go.

Here is the NWS WWW3 wave forecast for the Atlantic coast looking 126 hours into the future (8/30/07) on 8/25/07. As the model pans forward in 3 hour increments it increasingly becomes dark blue along the coast. (Click here for links to models.)




















This wind model view looks further out into the horizon, 180 hrs. There is finally a hint of action coming off the Cape Verde, but throughout the 180 hours are huge patches of dark blue (representing no wind activity). Maybe we should ask Ferg to burn The Preciouuuuuuuus!
